Description

79 Whiting Street is a house that has been converted into offices, built in the early 19th century. It features white brick construction and a fully hipped slate roof with a simple wooden eaves soffit. The building is two storeys high and has a cellar. The front facade has three windows, each with 12-pane sashes set in painted reveals and topped with flat gauged arches. The central doorway is framed by a plain brick surround and includes a semicircular fanlight with intersecting arched glazing bars. There are two internal chimney stacks with plain white brick shafts. The rear elevation mirrors the front, with a door in a similar semicircular arched surround, though it has a blank fanlight. Inside, the cellar is much older than the structure above, featuring walls made of a mix of flint rubble, brick, and reused stone, all covered with old render. In the room to the left of the entry, there is an original fireplace adorned with reeded half-round columns and an architrave.
